THElocal city editor of the New Albany Ledger was out star-gazing night before last, and made astronomical observations of venus, as did the Prima Donna of the Terre Haute forenoon Repeater] but the strangest part of it was, they both tell what they saw, in the same words exactly. We look upon this as one of the most remarkable cases of "two souls with but a single thought," of which we have ever heard.

THE lines of the P. & A. Telegraph Company, between this cilyand Indianapolis, are down to-day, and the dispatches of the American Press have to come via Chicago and St. Louis, instead of Cincinnati, as is usually the case.

MANAGER HUSTON and his assistants, of the Terre Haute House, are preparing a magnificent banquet to be given at that institution Monday, from 1 to 3 o'clock P. M. No efforts will be spared to make it a success in

woman-women have hit upon a
now idea which they believe is destined to sweep social vice Jroni the face of the earth. This plan is to have the General Government pass a law providing that all persons who live together, even lor five minutes, as man and wile, shall be deemed to have contracted marriage, and shall be subject to all the duties, liabilities and penalties of the marriage relation.—Chicago Republican.
The Representatives of the American people, now assembled at Washington in legislative session, could not pass a law productive of more good than such an one as suggested above. Such a law would do much more to secure women their rights than all the shrieking of such shriekers and howlers as Mrs. Woodhull and her clan, for the ballot.
A SENSATION AT LAST !—'The Muncie, Ind., Democrat has labored and brought forth a sensational article. It tells of a secret society, composed entirely of ladies of high social position, which has existed in that city for several months, the meetings of which are held weekly at the residences of the members. One of the members lately resolved to let her husband gaze upon the workings of the order. At the next meeting she smuggled him into the hoitse, and at a given signal from her he rushed into the secret chamber. What ho saw we will recount in the words of the Democrat: "Nearly a score of beautiful women in full regalia going through their customary ceremonies. The regalia is described as displaying the charms of the members to the very best advantage, niul consists of a pair of long stockings, a pair of short drawers, fastened at the top with a broad belt or widesash and—only this and nothing more! The ceremouies consist in performing circus teats." More next week. ..

When the hero and heroine of a Fort

Tins "personal" appears in the Cincinnati Enquirer "The gentleman with eye-glasses who gently pressed the toe of a lady in a John street car is a blackguard in the estimation of the victim." And now, most likely, there will be an answer inserted requesting the "victim" to send her address so that the gentleman may explain.

NEW YORK, December 21.—There was no unusual scene at the Court of General Sessions 3-esterday, and the Recorder adjourucd the court early. The Grand Jury after considering the charges made against Judge Bedford, regarding his salary while District Attorney, and charges against Tweed in reference to Key's claim, adjourned until Friday morning. No news of reliable character can be obtained regarding further indictments. In reference to the statement relative to indictments having been found against the pugilist Heenan, the District Attorney states that his name has not come before the Grand Jury at all. He was not aware that indictments were found against him, and was pretty sure to know if such action had been taken by the Grand Jury.
It was stated yesterday that a prominent member of the Military Committee waited on Mayor Hall last week with the draft of a letter of resignation, which the Mayor was requested to sign. The Mayor declined acting upon it until he had consulted with his friends, and he was then warned that unless he decided to accept the proposition to resign before Tuesday evening, the Committee of Seventy would break ofi all connection with him. The resolutions passed by the Committee of Seventy, Tuesday night, were, it is said, the result of the failure of Mayor Hall to comply with their demand.
It is reported among politicians that the Mayor's resignation will be sent in within a week.
The political, military and personal friends of Gen. D. E. Sickles have arranged to give him a warm demonstration on his return to this country. It is expected that he will arrive to-day, and the steamer will be met by the revenue cutter Northern, when he will be received by the members of the Committee of Reception.
NEW YORK, December 21.—The Washington Times' special says that the city was filled last night with members of the House going home for the holidays, that body having agreed to transact no business, but will meet as a Committee on the Whole for debate only. So recess virtually commences with the close of to-days's session.
NEW YORK,December20.—The following is a special to the Tribune from Washington, December 20: Much regret is expressed that while the Senate spent more than a week in discussing and debating whether it would order a court of investigation, no time was found to consider the Apportionment bill passed by the House last week. Several of the State Legislature meet every January, and in some of the States the session of the Legislature is limited by law. Unless the Apportionment bill is promptly passed, it will, therefore, be too late for some of the members to restrict their State, and private sessions for that purpose will have to be held.
NEW YORK, Dee. 21.—The Grand Jury were earnestly engaged yesterday in the work which they have before them. The examination of the bonds of the Tenth National Bank has disclosed the fact that a certain uniform system of distribution prevails throughout the allotment of fraudulent claims, approved by the Board of Audit. Tweed's share has been discussed to be invariably 24 percent, and payments made him in this proposition occur invariably on the same day as the vouchers were cashed.
Payments to the amount of 10 to 15 per cent., are traceable into the hands of the ring tradesmen, and one Tammany leader, hitherto untouched, is believed to stand convicted of receiving the same 15 per cent, of the pluuder. All the recipients of the funds divided by Woodward have not yet been ascertained, some 20 per cent, of which is understood to remain unaccounted for. It is presumed this may be traced into the possession of Connolly or Hall, if not both.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 21.—Weather clear and very cold, making heavy ice in the river. The river is falling aud it is too cold and too much ice floating below for boats to leave. Port freights unchanged.

The company have on hand iron for laying thirteen miles of the track (between Brazil and Rockville) aud have contracts for a lot sufficient to complete that section to be delivered in February. The work of laying the track was commenced several daj's ago, but has been suspended on account of the extremely cold weather.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

"Voted t»a at 4 o'clock P. 31. To-day.
SENATE.
Bills
were
referred other bills of more
private than general interest were read or properly disposed of, when the Senate then took up the House General Amnesty Bill.
Mr. Robertson said it was favored by all prominent Republicans at the South, and that its passage would gain the Republican party more friends there than any other measure that could possibly pass.
Mr. Buckingham read an elaborate speech on the subject. He expressed the opinion that Jefferson Davis and others ought to have been executed immediately after the end of the war, but the Goverrrment had relieved so many individuals from political disabilities that there was some apparent reason for charging it with injustice if it refused to relieve others no more guilty than those relieved. He hoped no other amnesty bills would be introduced.
Mr. Morton offered an amendment providing that the act shall not be construed to dale back so as to validate the election or appointment of any person to the position of Senator or member of the House of Representatives, or to any any office, civil or military, under the United States or State, which the person was at the time of such election or appointment ineligible to the position.
Mr. Edmunds—That is right. Mr. Stewart wished to have the bill passed substantially as it had come from the House without adding any further exceptions, although he had no objection to Mr. Morton's amendment.
Mr. Sumner said he believed in being just before we are generous to the rebels of the South. He thought it was a good opportunity to do justice to the colored race, and, therefore he offered as an amendment the supplementary civil rights bill for Georgia. He expressed the hope that the measure would not be overlaid with amendments, but would be passed as it came from the House. The people of Georgia are rejoicing today over the admission of their Senator yesterday, and the passage of this bill would add to their rejoicing. He hoped that the bill would either be passed or rejected on its own merits. Mr. Sumner then discussed at great length the question of equal rights for colored persons in hotels, public schools and conveyances.
Mr. Morton modified his amendment so as to apply to members of Congress and to United States officers.
Mr. Edmunds moved to go into Execu tive Session, which was lost. Mr. Trumbull appealed to Messrs. Morton and Sumner notto press their amendment. If anything practicable was to be done this year in the way of removing disabilities, .it could be done only by passing this bill as it came from the House and he urged the Senate not to adjourn till the bill should have passed.
Mr. Alcorn said that if the bill was to be amended, his interest in it was to great extent gone.
After further discussion by Messrs Scott, Morton, Wilson and others it was agreed that a vote should betaken on the bill at four o'clock to-morrow.
The Senate went into executive session and soon after adjourned. HOUSE.
The post route bill passed. A motion was made to have post mas ters elected by the people.
Nothing of general interest transpired before this body yesterday.

How a Barber Got Even with Mark Twain. Those who read an article written by Mark Twain on barbers, and published in the Galaxy last summer, will enjoy the following story of the way the humorist was come up to in Syracuse by one of the slandered knights of the brush and lather. It appears, according to the Courier,of the Salt City, that on last Wednesday afternoon Twain put in an appearance there for the purpose of filling an engagement that evening to lecture, and in order to make himself presentable to a Syracuse fashionable audience, he concluded to patronize one of the class he had slandered in the Galaxy article, and stepping into a shop he deliberately divested himself of a paper collar and cravat, and told the son of a lather to proceed, little dreaming. that he was known and appreciated. But he was, and the way that barber "went for" Mark would have astonished Bill Nye. Selecting the dullest razor, in the shop, he sharpened it up a little, and then seizing Twain by the nose with a grasp that would bring down a bullock, he commenced to lather him. He soaped him from chin to eyebrows, and rushed the lather brush about an inch up his nose and thencejinto both ears, poor Twain in the meantime snorting aud sputtering like a steam-engine blowing off steam. In vain he protested that he did not want his eyebrows and forehead shaved. Keep still, said the barber, I know my business. After soaping him until he looked like an Albino, he laid on the blade. The first stroke brought tears to Twain's eyes. The second brought him to a sitting position with an exclamation, "I say that razor is too dull to shave me with." "Lay down," said the knight of the razor, thrusting him dowu into the chair again, "That razor will cut a hair I know my business." Twain groaned, and the barber pulled until the beard was off, and a good portion of the skin with it.
After shaving, he proceeded to wash him up, selecting the dirtiest towel in the shop, one that was used for wiping off hair dye, and it was as spotted as Joseph's coat. He soused the water in his eyes and nostrils, and then wiped him off. The spectators by this time were unable to control their laughter, and burst out in loud peals, in which he of the lather heartily joined. Twain saw the joke, bat kept quiet., When the bar
ber told him that his hair was coming out, and offered to sell him a bottle of hair restorative, price three dollars per bottle, Twain replied, "Well, I rather want my hair to fall out. I have too much for comfort." He then offered to sell him a bottle of "Bloom of Youth," telling him that he was badly freckled. "Ami?" said Mark "well, I rather like that. If I was good-looking and fair to gaze upon the ladies would all fall in love with me, and that would make my wife uneasy. As it is, she allows me to roam about the country without fear. She knows my ugliness will protect me." Then he of the lather and brush saw he could not persecute Mark any farther, and after brushing him off in a lusty and vigorous manner, said, "Mr. Twain, how do you like your shave "Oh said Mark, "this is nothing new. Every barber in the country goes for me in the same style. I am used to it and, in fact, I rather like it." Call again," said the now satisfied barber. "Not if I can help it," replied Mark. "Good day." He politely bowed Mr. Twain out of the shop, and sent for a gallon of lager beer to recuperate his exhausted energies. But he feels that one barber is even with Mark Twain and we think he is.
An Unreported Conversation. During the Grand Duke Alexis' walks through the Bridgeport cartridge factory the other day, he pointed toseveral workmen, and inquired of Gov. Jewell, "Are these men what you call the common people?" The Governor replied that they were a fair specimen of working classes in this country. "Butdoyou mean to say that these get into official position?" further asked the Imperial scion. "Perhaps not any of these men," rejoined Governor Jewell, "but men of their class do they are educated men most of them—that is they can all read and write—and most of them take and read the newspapers." "Do you know of any case where such then have actually been elected to office?" again queried the curious Alexis. "Oh, certainly," the Governor said, "I myself worked in the shop as a tanner till I was twenty years of age," and the announcement seemed to puzzel the Duke a good deal. Here was the Governor of a State, as well dressed and as well appearing as himself, who had actually worked in a shop, and this man was welcoming in behalf of a hundred thousand voters it was more of an enigma than the boy had ciphered on previously but as he goes through the country he will ascertain, upon inquiring, that very many of the public men here have come directly from the workshop. In Massachusetts, where he is now visiting, Governor Clafliu was a shoemaker, Senator Wilson was a cobble also, and General Banks was a machinist.— Hartford Courant.
WORKMEN in a caisson for one of the piers of the bridge over the Missouri, at St. Joseph, Saturday, made the curious discovery of magnificent specimens of amethyst, garnet and gold bearing quartz, in gravel, at a depth of forty-three feet below low water mark. This gravel is evidently the old bottom of the sea.

WEEKLY
Chicago Tribune.
ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR, In Large Clubs.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1872.
The Weekly Chicago Tribune, for the year 1871', will consist of first-class original and sele ted matter, embracing the latest news by telegraph and mail, down to the honr of going to press, editorials, correspondence, reports ol the proceedings of Congress and of the Legislatures of the Western States, and of important public meetings and political speeches financial and commercial intelligence, reports of the grain, provision, lumber, dry goods, cattle, and general markets, notices of new pablications, and other literary and miscellaneous intelligence. It will also contain weekly summaries of information concerning the work of
REIiUILMKO CHICAGO, And restoring its former greatness after its late devastation by fire.
The year 1872, it will be remembered, is a
PRESIDENTIAL YEAR, And the campaign will, in all probability, be as exciting as any that has transpsred since the outbreak of the latewar. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE will uphold and defend the principles of the Republican party with its accustomed vigor and earnestness. Our platform consists of:
Equal and exact justice, at the ballot-box and before the law, to all men, without distinction of race or color.
Amnesty for all political offences connected with the rebellion. A tariff for public revenue only.
Pres. rvation of the public lands for actual settlers under the Homestead and Pre-emption laws.
Opposition to monopolies of every description, and to corruption in every farm. Such reform of the civil service as shall mako men and fitness, instead of partsan zeal or personal favoritism, the test of perferment to Federal offices.
Cur leaders, and the public generally, are so well acquainted M'ith the tone and quality of THE CHICAGO 1RIBUNE, that we need not enlarge upon that subject. Near the close of the 25th year of our existence as a public journal. we had the misfortune, in common with a large majosity of the business community of Chicago, to be burned out,
losiDg
thereby the
most commodious newspaper building in the United States, and being deprived, temporarily of the use of our extensive printing machinery. We have commenced rebuilding our ruined edifice on a more enduring plan than before, and we have effected arrangements for the use of machinery which practically gives us thesame facilities that we possessed before tne fire. Upon occupation of our new building and machinery THE TRIBUNE will be issued as an octavo, and contain eight pages of reading matter.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE will be published regularly as heretofore eacn Wednesday upon the following
